Pallas Athena (goddess of learning and the arts)
shows Taddeo—to his wonderment—a view of the
city of Rome. Here, as throughout the series, an
inscription on young Taddeo's tunic identifies him.
He wears typical contemporary costume, with
stockings probably made from wool or linen and
cut to the shape of the leg. The scene is set on a
road to the north of the city, with an entrance
gate nearby.
